  1. "If the children begin falling out of the windows and the cat's in the canary cage or if the telephone rings, just don't stop!"

  2. I remember when this episode first aired over 50 years ago – and I've been madly in love with this salad ever since!!

  3. homemade mayo is something special — sometimes for a quick work around i'll beat an egg yolk, some mustard and lemon juice into hellman's — comes reasonably close

  4. soooo — i wanted to watch this video BUT had to watch a 15-second video about cleansing an infant's body. THEN had to watch a 2:25 video about blood sugar.
    NO – I WILL NOT WATCH THESE IDIOTIC YOUTUBE ADS. you need to complain to youtube about this ridiculous requirement.

  5. I hate store-bought mayo but I could eat homemade with a spoon. The difference is amazing. And this salad looks delish, and I need to remember the trick of seasoning the ingredients first before slathering on the mayo.

  6. I never watch her without wanting to cry a bit several times. "And, if the children start falling out of the windows…." I adore her.

  7. I’ve made mayonnaise before but I’ve never beaten the yolks until they’re thickened, I’ll try that next time!
